This library contains a clean-room reimplementation of the BCM5719 firmware based on the Ortega specification.

The firmware has been tested on the Talos II by Raptor Computer Systems.

Note: This firmware is currently in development. Flashing the firmware to a network card can result in a bricked device when either an external programmer is required, or the external flash must be temporarily disabled during boot-up.

This repository depends on a number of external tools

• Customized LLVM/Clang compiler for MIPS firmware
• CMake 3.5.1+
• Linux (utilities)
• Clang Format (optional)
• Flexelint/PCLint+ (optional)
• IPXact generator (optional)

• Libraries:
  • MII Library: Done
  • NVRAM Library: Done
• Stage1
  • Implementation: Functional
  • Testing: Minimal, WIP
• Stage2
  • Implimentation: Merged with Stage1, functional
  • VPD: Not started
  • WOL: Not started
• APE
  • Implementation in progress
• Utilities
  • Firmware tool: Functional
  • Register tool: Functional
  • APE Tool: In progress

To compile the firmware, the following command sequence can be used:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G Ninja
cmake --build .
